Are all Euro intake manifolds like this?

Yeah - I wouldn't worry about it either. From what I read (and I'm sure I'll be corrected if I mess this up! :), if the inside of the manifold has that curvature (which I'd be suprised if it did), it would have more of an impact to a N/A motor (where the fluid dynamics matter because is merely drawn in via vacuum) than a Forced Induction motor (where air is, you guessed it, forced in).
I say this intending to convey a relationship of how such a disruption in air flow would impact the output in terms of hp lost to total hp.
N/A would be something like 5hp lost with a total of 123 hp. Whereas the same FI motor would maybe lose 5-7hp with a total of 200+...
(I hope that made sense...) Any of our local engineers wanna shred this one up? :D
